BringBackTheBlizzard Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Great to see them finally win it on the field of play. Hope they do well at the Nationals. http://www.ontariosoccer.net/Calendar/NewsEvents/AEK-London-FC-Win-Ontario-Senior-Men%E2%80%99s-Title.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 A belated London Free Press story about it: http://www.lfpress.com/sports/soccer/2010/09/20/15418776.html This bit might help people grasp the problems associated with geography in Canadian soccer. ...AEK will head to nationals in Prince Edward Island in two weeks. In their previous nationals in Newfoundland, the weather brought everything, including rain and sleet. “We want to finish better than fifth like last time,” Dreliozis said. “It was great going out there and whenever you play in the east the fan support is unbelievable. I think we’ll be better prepared this time.” Dreliozis says the trip will probably cost an estimated $30,000 with the Ontario Soccer Association only paying for 60% of the air travel.

robdiamondpresents Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 no offense, but most other provinces dont even get the 60%, some none at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 That actually reinforces my point rather than contradicting it. Easy for people to fantasize about Open Cups and end of season playoffs for teams from coast to coast but the travel expenses are a huge obstacle.

robdiamondpresents Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 sorry, internet is hard to understand where people are going with posts. It is a nightmare, especially now that some of us are working two jobs/working and school/working full time with families, and its only 3 weeks in some cases to make this money, really puts an exclamation point on why we play, true love.
